    Wildlife / trail cameras - educate me please

    I'm looking for a simple to use wildlife camera. Not too expensive (< 150 euros) and linked with my phone: I don't want to pull out that SD card every time I want to look at what's walking on my terrain during the night.

    Any experience? Knowhow? Do's and don'ts?

    For 150 euros i would be looking at something like this or simular :

    Kodak PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ401-BK 16MP Digital Camera with 40X Optical Zoom and 3" LCD

    But dont expect anything special, in the photography world in general 150 euros does not go very far sadly.

    Think the OP meant something like a trail camera.

    Mmm I didn’t realize that the English word is ‘trail camera’. I’ll change the title as well

    If the area is within reach of WiFi look on eBay for secondhand Arlo systems. Usually have 3 cams.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I think those Arlo cameras are nowhere near enough "tactical" looking for the regulars on this forum. Unless you pick up a pack of grease paint at the same time
